"Let me tell you, I'm taking both of these villas today."
Lu Sheng raised her beautiful phoenix eyes slightly and beckoned with her finger.
The electric arc seemed to come alive and become a physical entity, wrapping itself around Xia Ran's neck and tightening its grip.
Electric-type awakeners have extremely strong resistance to electric attributes, but Xia Ran felt as if his internal organs were about to be penetrated by the voltage.
She tried her best to reach out and create an electric spark, but as soon as she raised her wrist, her skin trembled as the snake-like arc of electricity emanated from her body.
An invisible force pulled on Xia Ran's fragile neck, dragging her heavily towards the ground.
"Holy crap, this girl also has electric abilities!"
"To be able to solidify electricity, it must be at least at the third level, right?"
"Compared to others, our Yunshan base's darling is just a little power bank, haha."
The crowd burst into laughter.
Xia Ran usually flaunts her power and influence everywhere because of the base's investment in her. These grassroots staff members have long been unhappy with her, but they dare not speak out because of her status.
They had long wanted to teach Xia Ran a lesson, but they could only swallow their anger because they couldn't afford to offend the research institute.
Now that they see someone able to thoroughly humiliate Xia Ran, everyone is watching with amusement.
thump.
Pulled by the electric arc, Xia Ran's knees buckled and she knelt directly on the ground.
She looked up in dissatisfaction. How could this newcomer reach the third level of the electric system?
Xia Ran was nurtured with all the resources of the research institute. How dare this country bumpkin who just entered the base ride on her head?
"You said it, strength speaks for itself, and those with strength have privileges."
Lu Sheng glanced coldly at Xia Ran and handed the card to the staff member, "I want both villas."
"Do you know who I am? How dare you treat me like this!"
Xia Ran was forced into a humiliating kneeling position by the electric arc, glaring at Lu Sheng through gritted teeth.
Do you need to know the identity of your defeated opponent?
Lu Sheng smiled faintly.
The staff at the housing rental office felt their scalps tingle under Lu Sheng's gaze and nervously entered Lu Sheng and his group's information into the system.
Even Miss Xia was completely subdued, so she didn't dare to say a word.
More and more people gathered around, all eager to see Xia Ran embarrass herself. Some gossipy individuals even called others to come and watch the spectacle.
"You just wait, I won't let you get away with this!"
Xia Ran held her breath and tried her best to stand up, but was suppressed by the powerful electric arc and let out a painful groan.
"If only your bones were half as hard as your mouth."
Lu Sheng's smile faded, and he slightly moved his fingers.
The electric arc binding Xia Ran tightened again, and the skin on her neck and wrists even emitted a burnt smell.
As Xia Ran's pupils dilated and she was about to lose consciousness, a wind blade struck, slicing through the electric arc that had imprisoned her.
A deep male voice rang out, "Xia Ran, apologize."
Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow slightly. She hadn't originally intended to kill Xia Ran; she just wanted to teach her a lesson.
But this person was able to save Xia Ran so easily, so he must be at least a third or fourth-level ability user.
Yunshan Base is truly a place where hidden talents abound.
Lu Sheng glanced at the newcomer. He had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and his tall and straight figure was accentuated by his military uniform, making him look heroic and extraordinary.
He has a somewhat aloof demeanor and doesn't seem like someone easy to get along with.
"Brother Qichen...this bitch bullied me!"
Xia Ran coughed incessantly, clutching her neck, and pointed to the marks on her wrists and neck, tearfully complaining to the man.
"Yes, it's me. What's wrong?"
Lu Sheng remained calm, her bright eyes fixed on Jiang Qichen.
So what if someone's backing you up? At worst, the two of you can tie each other up and beat each other up.
"Brother Qichen, it hurts so much..." Xia Ran pointed at Lu Sheng through gritted teeth, "You have to help me get revenge and cripple this bitch."
"Aren't you ashamed enough already?!"
Jiang Qichen frowned slightly, and his first words surprised Lu Sheng.
“Don’t think I don’t know your character. Apologize to this girl right now.”
Jiang Qichen coldly grabbed Xia Ran by the collar and tossed her to Lu Sheng's feet like trash. "I'll count to three and apologize."
"Brother Qichen!" Xia Ran rolled up her sleeves, feeling wronged. "I'm so badly injured, why should I apologize?"
"three."
"two."
Jiang Qichen's face was frosty, and his tone was firm and unyielding.
As soon as she counted to two, Xia Ran reluctantly bowed and apologized to Lu Sheng.
She was seething with hatred, but she dared not disobey Jiang Qichen's orders. Jiang Qichen was the only son of the base's military commander, and she couldn't afford to offend him.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong."
Xia Ran squeezed out a mosquito-like sound from her throat.
"Get lost from now on, don't get in my way."
Lu Sheng was too lazy to argue with Xia Ran and turned around to complete the rental procedures.
After Lu Sheng and his group completed the formalities and drove to the villa area, Jiang Qichen turned to his confidant and instructed, "Find out all the information about this woman."
"Yes." The confidant hesitated for a moment. "Miss Xia seems to be seriously injured. Should we send someone to check on her?"
A hint of impatience flashed across Jiang Qichen's brow. "Ignore that good-for-nothing. He's only at the second tier after consuming so many enhancement agents and crystal cores. Focus all your energy on that third-tier electric ability user."
Jiang Qichen looked gloomy as he watched the black RV gradually disappear from sight in the distance.
...
The environment and decoration of the detached villa were even better than Lu Sheng and his group had expected.
Not only does each villa have its own private courtyard, but the villas are also fully furnished and equipped with all necessary appliances, so you can move in right away.
They even thoughtfully equipped the villa with an internal telephone, so you can contact the property management for errands with just one call.
Finally having a place to stay, Zhang Xiaojuan put down her luggage and then invited Lu Sheng and the others to have dinner together.
"Today, I'm treating you all to a Manchu-Han feast," Zhang Xiaojuan declared confidently, patting her chest.
"Brother Zhang, you can cook? I never knew!" Sun Tiantian and Xiao Yu, the two curious girls, rubbed their hands together, ready to help Zhang Xiaojuan. "Do you need me to wash and chop the vegetables?"
"No need, no need, it's not that complicated."
Zhang Xiaojuan retrieved a cardboard box from the car and placed it on the table.
"One bowl per person, Uni-President brand Manhan Feast instant noodles." Zhang Xiaojuan took out several beautifully packaged cup noodles from the cardboard box and distributed them to several people. "There are spicy Sichuan flavors and braised flavors, help yourselves and don't be shy."
Xiao Yu and Sun Tiantian, the two curious children: "..."
That's right, the packaging says "Manchu Han Feast," and there really are a few pieces of beef in the ingredient packet.
After a long day of travel, everyone was exhausted, but they ate a bowl of hot instant noodles with great relish.
There was another reason that Lu Sheng and the others didn't say: their cholesterol levels had risen from eating so much rich food at Dingxianglou every day, so having instant noodles occasionally was a way to change things up.
After a short rest at the villa, Lu Sheng led Xu Yi and the others to the mission center in the center of the base early in the morning.
The organization that issues missions at the base is called the Bounty Guild, which releases the missions available for the day at 8:30 every morning.
